Overview

This warning sign marks where asbestos is present, or the controls that go with it. Typical homes for it are waste storage, removal work areas and buildings with known asbestos. Our caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

Boards for caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing

Our caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing comes on three kinds of board:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.

What the sign says

It reads "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The CAUTION heading tells people to watch out; the line beneath says for what.

Where to fix it

At the way in and on the item or enclosure too. Mark the store and the route to it, so the warning is seen before anyone opens a door.

Before you order caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.

Match the sign to what is actually stored, and update it if the contents change.

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 both expect areas holding hazardous substances to be marked, so nobody walks in without knowing the risk.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first. Each caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing job is printed to order and sent out from the UK. Delivery to a UK mainland address is £7.95, or free once the order passes £100 after any discount (artwork fees are not counted). Mainland Highlands postcodes add £10; Northern Ireland, the islands, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Scilly and the Isle of Wight are quoted. Full details are on the delivery page.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about caution asbestos protective clothing sign printing.

Which size of Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 8 m calls for A4 (210 × 297 mm), 12 m calls for A3 (297 × 420 mm), 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 (594 × 841 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 (594 × 841 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing"?

Not for that exact wording. Instead, the words are printed next to W001, the ISO 7010 general warning symbol, so the hazard is still clear at a glance.

Where do I fix the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing sign?

For "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing", the usual spot is at the way into the area and on the item or enclosure itself. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Am I legally required to display "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing"?

COSHH and the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 expect stores and areas holding hazardous substances to be marked. That way people know the risk before they walk in. Where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.

Foamex, Dibond or vinyl: which should I choose?

Ask where it is going. Outdoors or somewhere it may get knocked: Dibond aluminium composite. Smooth doors, glass or machinery: self-adhesive vinyl. Anywhere else indoors: 3mm Foamex, which is light and easy to fix.

How do I put the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing sign up?

The rigid boards arrive without holes. On smooth walls and doors, sign-fixing tape is quickest; otherwise drill the board and screw it to a wall or post, or cable tie it to a fence. The vinyl version is self-adhesive: press it onto a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Could the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing sign say something different, or carry our logo?

Yes, we can make it as a custom job. Tell us the text you want in place of "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing", or send your logo. Send the details through the question box on this page or the Contact page.

How soon will the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing sign reach me?

Standard takes 3 working days to make, or Express 2 working days. The courier then needs 1 to 3 working days, and the tracking link comes by email. Spend £100 on goods (design fees are not counted) and UK mainland delivery is free; otherwise it is £7.95 once.

Asked by buyers

How much will the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign set me back?

£26.33 is where the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts, set up as A4 (210 × 297 mm) and 3mm Foamex on the Saver speed. Change the size, material, extras, quantity or speed and the total on the page moves straight away. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, with delivery the only thing that can be added. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted).

If I buy the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign today, when will it leave you?

As the page first opens, the speeds for the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign are Express 2 working days, Standard 4 and Saver 6, counting Monday to Friday and skipping bank holidays. The count begins once we have your order and a file ready to print. A bigger size or a different material can move it by a day either way; each speed shows its own days as you choose. Tracking arrives by email on the day it ships, and the courier usually takes one to three working days from there.

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £26.33 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order. Northern Ireland has its delivery priced before you pay, and so do the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. On its opening option, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

How big does our Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?

Stand where someone first needs to read "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

Smallest: A4 (210 × 297 mm), from £26.33. Biggest: A1 (594 × 841 mm), from £70.72. 2 more are listed in between, each priced on the cheapest options. Not sure which?

Material choices for Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

What will people understand when they see a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign?

Its job is to flag up a hazard: "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" is laid out as a warning sign, built around a black-edged yellow triangle. The picture is W001 from ISO 7010 (general warning sign), which gets the point across to visitors who read little or no English. Those colours and shapes come from the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations, which is why they look familiar.

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?

The only thing that can join the goods price is delivery; the price you see is the price you pay at checkout. Delivery anywhere on the UK mainland is £7.95 an order, and it costs nothing once the goods come to £100 or more after any discount code (design and artwork fees are not counted). If you pick a paid design option, it sits in the basket as a separate line with its own fee, so every penny is listed before you pay. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

Can a private person buy a single sign?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £26.33, and any bank card will do. On its own the opening price of £26.33 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A person still checks your file before it is printed, just as for a big order. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. On its opening option, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

How much for the biggest size, A1 (594 × 841 mm)?

From £70.72, with the cheapest settings and the Saver service. Material by material, it is 3mm Foamex at £71.71, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £83.74 and self-adhesive vinyl at £70.72.

Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?

Yes. Put each sign in the basket with whichever size and board suits its spot, then pay once at checkout. One delivery charge covers the whole order, and it drops to nothing when the goods reach £100 after any discount code. Picking the same board for every sign gives the set a matching look; "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" comes in A4, A3, A2 and A1. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

I live in the Scottish Highlands. Will the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign cost more to send?

The whole UK is covered. Outside it, sadly, we cannot deliver. Mainland addresses in the Highlands pay one extra £10 on the order, even when delivery would otherwise be free. For Northern Ireland, and for the Channel Islands, the Scottish islands, Scilly, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man, we tell you the delivery cost before you pay, so message us your postcode on the Contact page or our Get a quote page. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 5 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. On its opening option, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Is there a quicker turnaround for this sign?

Work back from the day you need it. Express takes 2 working days to get the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign out, against 5 on Saver, and costs £35.08 on the opening option rather than £26.33. Add up to three working days for the courier, plus any time you need to finish the file. Cutting it fine? Put your date in the question box before you order.

Which file formats can I upload?

A PDF made at the size you ordered works best, with the fonts embedded or turned into outlines. AI, EPS and SVG are fine too, as are high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF images. Word, PowerPoint or Canva designs can be used, but save them out as a full quality PDF where you can. Attach up to 3 files of up to 25 MB each on the product page, or order first and send them afterwards; we email you a link. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can the wording on a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign be changed, or our logo added?

A school can add its crest to "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing", a club its badge, a shop its name. Choose typesetting (£15) if you know the words, or design from your brief (£35) if you would like us to lay it out; each comes with one first draft and two rounds of changes. Have your own finished file? Upload it free and one of our team will look it over. Keep the symbol and safety colours unchanged so the sign still reads the right way. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

I am not a designer. What if the file I send turns out to be unusable?

You will not be left guessing. Each uploaded file is opened and looked over by a member of the team, and problems such as low-resolution pictures, no bleed or the wrong page size are sent back to you to fix before printing. If fixing it sounds like a chore, choose typesetting for £15: we lay out your text and logo, show you a first draft, then make up to two rounds of changes. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

Does the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

Yes: self-adhesive vinyl is one of the material choices, and that version is simply a sticker with a backing to peel off. Use it on smooth things like glass, doors, cupboards, machines or painted plaster. Clean and dry the surface first, then smooth it on working out from the middle. If the wall is rough or dusty the sticker will not grip well, so go for one of the boards. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

What thickness is the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

The sticker version, in self-adhesive vinyl, is only a film, so it sits flush on a door or wall. Every rigid option measures 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board. Dibond has aluminium on both faces around a plastic middle, so it stays flat and firm but is easy to fix. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

Two good companions for it are Asbestos Hazardous Waste Sign and Battery Charging PPE and No Smoking Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Will a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Foamex, Dibond and vinyl sticker versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What is the easiest way to put up a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign?

It depends what "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: two or four holes, then cable ties. Glass and glossy panels: the vinyl version, pressed on after a wipe and a dry. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Which material is cheapest for the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £50.78, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35 and 3mm Foamex at £26.33. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do we legally have to display a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign?

Not in every case. The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 require employers to put up safety signs where a risk is left over once other controls are in place. So whether you need "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" on display, and where it goes, comes out of your own risk assessment. A sign adds to other safety measures and never takes their place. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W001.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign leaves us after 5 working days on Saver.

Can I buy the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Our club needs a big batch of signs, or an odd size. Can you price it?

Our Get a quote page is the place, and it also handles delivery to Northern Ireland and the islands. For anything the page cannot do, tell us the size, number, material, date and postcode on Get a quote, add a file if you have one, and we email a price back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

Can the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

A community centre or a surgery often wants every visitor to understand a notice, and this sign can do that. Tick typesetting for £15, then give us your wording in each language, already translated, since translation is not something we do. You get one first draft and two rounds of changes. Keep the same symbol and sign colours so nobody misreads it. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign starts from £26.33.

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does a Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign come upright or wide?

Portrait. "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing" is offered in A4, A3, A2 and A1. That shape is made for doors, posts and slim wall spaces. If your spot needs the opposite, pick one of the paid design options and we re-lay it to suit. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

It depends on the board. Foamex is foamed plastic, and a large, thin sheet in strong sun can curve, most of all when it is held only at the corners. Dibond sandwiches a core between aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why people choose it for signs that live outdoors for years. If you go with Foamex, fix it flat to a wall along its length or pick a thicker option. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Foamex and Correx cut cleanly with a sharp craft knife run along a metal rule: score it a few times, then cut or snap along the line. Dibond is aluminium on both faces, so use a fine-tooth saw and take it slowly. Holes for screws or ties can be made with a normal drill bit at low speed; keep each hole 10 mm or more in from the edge. Trimming eats into the bleed area, so leave room in the design if you plan to trim anything off. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Could the Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, and the vinyl sticker version is the tidiest way to do it on a door or a glass panel. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What is the safest way to clean this sign?

For "Caution Asbestos Protective Clothing", warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid solvents, scouring pads and harsh cleaning products, as they can dull the print or lift it. Keep any spare boards lying flat to stop them bowing. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
